CES EduPack Options
Flexibility is key to the CES EduPack approach. EduPack is a toolkit that you configure to meet your own teaching needs. This is reflected in the choice available to you when you license the software. You can select any of six CES EduPack Editions options (details below), each focused on different disciplines in engineering, science, processing, or design and from a number of licensing options.
Licensing options
- Campus-wide licenses offer maximum flexibility when supporting multiple courses. Use any edition for any course or student in your institution, faculty, or department. Allows students to install the software on their own PCs. More...
- Enrollment licenses support specific courses and allow students to install the software on their own PCs. More...
- Lab licenses allow the software to be installed on a specific number of teaching PCs. More...
- Research licenses support use in research. More...

Standard Edition
CES EduPack Standard Edition is the core CES EduPack product. As well as software, teaching resources, and your choice of textbook, it provides three levels of the general materials and process property information and Elements database detailed here.
Design Edition
 CES EduPack Design Edition is a modified version of the Standard Edition.
It excludes the Level 3 data from the general materials and process property information, as this level of engineering information is unlikely to be useful to deisgn students.
It includes an alternative, specialist textbook (Materials and Design) for product and industrial design, and some additional handout materials for design students.
Aerospace Edition
 CES EduPack Aerospace Edition provides all of the features and data included in the Standard Edition with the addition (at Level 3) of two outstanding specialist reference data sources which allow selection projects to be carried out on material properties at user-specified temperatures.
MMPDS database (formerly MIL-HDBK-5)
- Commercial aerospace data module
- >2,000 records of statistically-derived design data for aerospace alloys
- Information on the temperature dependence of mechanical properties, fatigue curves, and corrosion rankings
- Contains a complete fastener database comprising over 1,000 sheet metal/fastener combinations
- More information in the industrial section of this website...
MIL-HDBK-17 database
Polymer Edition
 CES EduPack Polymer Edition provides the features and functionality included in the Standard Edition with the addition (at Level 3) of two leading specialist reference data sources for polymeric materials. The one exception is general property information provided in the Standard Edition, which has been focused to include only polymeric materials, with the addition of some chemical resistance data.
General polymer property data
- A focused subset of the Level 3 general property data available with the Standard Edition. Includes properties on >630 types of elastomer and polymer materials
- Includes chemical resistance data (ChemRes) detailing the materials resistance to >190 different chemical and solvent environments
- Equivalent to the PolymerUniverse commercial product - more information in the industrial section of this website...
CAMPUS Plastics database
IDES Plastics database
Eco Design Edition
CES EduPack Eco Design Edition provides all of the features and functionality included in the Standard Edition. The general property information has been enhanced with additional eco-properties. The Edition also includes the CAMPUS plastics database with associated eco data.
General eco property data
CAMPUS Plastics database
- Leading plastics reference source - see Polymer Edition, above
- Includes information on energy that can be recovered by incineration
Bio Engineering Edition
 CES EduPack Bio Engineering Edition provides the features and functionality included in the Standard Edition with the addition of a unique reference data source for natural materials and man-made bio materials.
Bio Materials database
This database includes materials descriptions and detailed properties for
- The basic structural building blocks of nature - proteins, polysaccharides, and minerals
- Soft tissue - artery and vein, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage, skin, hair, hoof, horn, and tortoise shell
- Mineralized tissue - dentine and enamel, bone, antler, shell, and coral
- Woods and wood-like materials
- Natural fibers - mammalian, insect, arachnid, stem, leaf, and seed
- Man-made bio materials - metals, polymers, ceramics, and glasses
Applications
The edition enables:
- Retrieval of the properties of natural and man-made materials
- The construction of material property charts for natural materials
- Exploration of the ways in which the basic structural building blocks of the natural world (minerals, polysaccharides and proteins) combine to give the great diversity found in bio-materials
- Comparisons of the properties of natural and man-made materials, revealing their comparative efficiencies
- Substitution studies exploring the potential for one to substitute for another, suggesting where man-made materials might best be used for implants and organ replacement
- Bio-mimicry: designing man-made composites and structures that mimic those of the natural world
Architecture & the Built Environment Edition
CES EduPack Architecture & the Built Environment Edition provides all of the features and functionality included in the Standard Edition but with a tailored Architecture database (instead of the standard EduPack properties and processes database), and with an additional Structural Sections database.
Architecture database
- 126 materials for the built environment
- Materials categorized into superstructure, enclosures, interiors, services
- Datasheets contain images relating to the built environment
- Includes data on: mechanical properties in bending, hydro-thermal props, acoustic properties and durability in various atmospheres
- Science notes have been adapted to be more architecture-friendly (i.e., less fundamental materials science)
Structural Sections database
- Properties on >1800 structural sections
- Includes data on Aluminum, steel, GFRP and softwood beams
